Remember when Count Binface came to North Yorkshire to take on the Prime Minister?

  • Stroud-Based tycoon Dale Vince offered to support Count Binface, a novelty candidate, with moral and financial backing in the upcoming Clacton by-election against Reform leader Nigel Farage.
  • Nigel Farage triggered the by-election by resigning his Commons seat after the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner opened investigations into his failure to declare a £5 million gift from cryptocurrency tycoon Christopher Harborne.
  • Vince said the people of Clacton "need to know things about Farage that they probably don't know," and could legally donate up to $418,958 to Binface for campaign materials.
  • Describing the contest as a "people versus the establishment" battle, Farage has faced criticism for calling the vote before investigations concluded, while Reform mobilized activists to help defeat Binface.
  • Binface, an Oxford-educated scriptwriter, has challenged prominent politicians including former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and stands as the primary challenger after major parties declined to field candidates in Clacton.
